On an-other trip, I had the new Sony A7R3. On one trip to Chicago, I hit the streets with the SIGMA 16mm mounted on a Sony A7SM2. So, to test this out, I used it in various work scenarios: street/travel photography newspaper assignments, and general feature photography. The most important feature for me is how the lens performs in real life. Gearing up to take the 16mm F1.4 for a spin There are no focus or f-stop scales, which I personally don’t see the need for on a focus-by-wire lens that pairs with live-view EVF cameras with focus peaking, high magnification focus confirmation and real-time depth of field previews! The design of the lens matches the style of the SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary lens: clean, modern looking with a large manual focus ring. It is difficult to beat this lens when comparing the number of special elements, sharpness and price. The lens also fits a focal length niche with few head to head competitors. And it’s weather sealed, so if I get caught in the rain, my lens will keep performing. It incorporates a stepping motor, which means it will be a great lens when I shoot video on my Sony camera. It’s also a fast lens at f1.4 which is ideal for the street photography I love to do, as well as a lot of commercial assignments. And 24mm is an ideal focal length for a lot of my newspaper assignments as well as street photography. On both systems, it is designed for both still and video operations, with a virtually silent stepping motor that won’t be noticeable during video capture.Įven though this is a lens designed for a cropped sensor, it will work on a full frame Sony Alpha camera: a simple custom function setting crops the view to cover the APS-C image circle on the sensor. On the micro four thirds system with the 2x factor, it equates to a 32mm F1.4 lens. So, for Sony, it is an APS-C image circle, which relates to a 24mm F1.4 field of view thanks to the 1.5x crop factor. This is a DN Lens designed specifically for mirrorless cameras from Sony and on the Micro Four Thirds system. There are some basic technical details that do matter to me. And the SIGMA 16mm has not disappointed me with each new day and each new assignment. In some cases, the nature of the item means that it is non-returnable, for example, due to hygiene/health and personal care/wellness/consumable nature of the product.I’m not a photographer that is as interested in minute technical details of lens testing as I am a photographer that wants results in the real world.
